part of me is mad, since I've tried for awhile to come up with a full-suspension touring mt bike design, and given up. It's very hard to make any mountain bike climb well when loaded, without even worrying about suspension.
and I'll beat everyone too it and say it looks like it flexes alot. and in general just scares me.
who would buy one of these? hunter-gatherers with deep pockets?

I guess it's still a single pivot. it looks like he figured out how to put a rack on a maverick suc36.The Panamericana is Tout Terrain's all terrain expedition frame. Shown here is a complete bicycle with suspension fork, Rohloff rear hub, and TA Carmina crankset. The rear suspension has 80mm of travel, which makes the chain tensioner necessary for the Rohloff hub. No bottom bracket eccentric is used, so this frame can be set up with either a Rohloff or a derailleur drive train.
Panamericana frame with shock: $ 3,400.00
